I just found these … Tatay and Nay Conchit … don’t know when this was taken but I found these buried under tons of papers in one of my boxes. I am such a pack rat.

A breath of fresh air: our roots through the eyes of Russell
Monday, November 24th, 2008Let’s have a breath of fresh air naman … amidst all these sad news. Russell (si Bimbo na anak ni Ng Merlyn at Oca) sent everyone these photos of Malinao. Some of you may have not received them through the mail (if you opted to read mails on the web), so here they are …

Marie Angela Garcia Liew
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008According to Ng Emma, Angela, daughter of Angelita (Ilio-Garcia) and Francis Liew who are based in Paris, France flew into Manila for a month’s vacation.
Angela (encircled) with cousin Toto (L) and brothers Kenneth (with her) and John in blue/red jacket with their aunt Marissa (Isot), mother of Toto. Angela’s dad, Francis is at the back with Lynn, a visitor from Chicago. This was taken in 1999 in the Liew’s apartment on Rue d L’ Ourcq. Angela’s mother, Angie (Angelita) was not in the picture – she was working that time when we visited. ( I finally found the pictures!)
Many Ilios had lunch with Angela just today (Nov. 2) at a restaurant on Timog, also to serve as a despidida for Ethel Yarra and Maning and Jojo Romero who are going back for the US tomorrow. Ethel, Maning and Jojo were in the Philippines, as you know by now, due to the death of our aunts, Nay Conchit (Ethel’s mother) and Nay Ansing (Maning and Jojo’s mother) within weeks of each other.
Ng Emma said that Nay Nor’s family was in attendance including grandson Joseph Andre, the TV star (of Kung Fu Kids fame) who was mobbed by fans for photos.
Here’s Andre (in barong) also being discretely mobbed by admirers in Kalibo during a family wedding
The lunch was a mini-reunion of the Ilios in Manila – there were 16 of them, had a very enjoyable bonding time and they basically closed the buffet.
I hope you took pictures!!!
